Trip Leader Picks for 2027

We spoke to leaders about what trips they are excited about in 2027 and here’s what they had to say:

Recommended by Nick Jones

Santa Barbara Multi-Adventure

“Out on the Channel Islands the landscape is untouched and removed from modern life. Then, like stepping through a time machine, you're back on the mainland enjoying world-class hotels, great food and the easy charm of Santa Barbara.”

Costa Rica to Panama Multi-Adventure

“The magic of this trip is the contrast of a very Central American Costa Rica, and a wild Caribbean side of Panama. Overwater bungalows and getting boat taxis lets you experience a colorful, deeply rooted side of Panama.”

Tasmania Multi-Adventure

“Tassie catches you off guard. The variety is bloody crazy: one minute you’re on a sandy beach, the next you’re surrounded by wild forest and mountains. Vast, fresh and still under the radar.”
